A famous quote says, "There's nothing certain in life except death and taxes."
It's ironic and infuriating then that the government taxes your death. It's known as the "Death Tax" or the "Estate Tax" or the "Inheritance Tax" and it applies to anything you might hope to pass on such as money, equipment, or land to your loved ones. No matter what you call it, a tax that kicks in when you die is absurd. It's not the government's money to begin with!
